That is the same short-sighted attitude that got us into this mess. The fact of the matter is that the next contract should include very little in the way of raises in a Captain's hourly rate. Their raise should be made in soft pay rules and the FO's should be given a large hourly increase on top of the rules. RAH has the highest regional CA rates but yet CAs here take home less then their counterparts. Real cancellation pay and work rules are what are needed.
At my last airline, I made less per hour than I do now but took home more. I never blocked more than 75 hours of flight time there but my average credit was over 100 hours. Most of the guys here at RAH don't understand that real money and QOL increases are made with soft pay and work rules because they have never had it.

Loon is just that. A Loon. He doesn't represent >85% of all RAH pilots.

BB doesn't like his lifer captains, it is actually the opposite. He likes people to come there, work for about 4 years and then leave and be replaced by another worker bee. Right now though, there are not enough pilots willing to work for him or his battle ax HR department.

Loon, I dont always disagree with you, but you're off in this thread. BB has made it clear over the years he does not want senior pilots. It drives up the cost. He needs them now due to inability to hire replacements. Im also curious how you come to the conclusion upgrade times will drop? Where will all of these brand new fos come from?

You can't claim that pilots will come simply because the economy is picking up.

You might want to read the company presentation. All 145 aircraft will be parked by mid 2016 along with all the 190s. The presentation also blames the pilots for voting no to "pay increases and better working conditions".
The announcement also indicates the Chautauqua operating certificate will be merged with the Shuttle America certificate by end of 2014. In my opinion this opens the door to merge S5 and YX in 2016 when we only have 170s flying around.

The company is getting more 170's than they are parking (more to be announced later after the additional option orders are exercised). Parking 70 145's, adding 47 + 50 e-jets. The Chautauqua 145's are being displaced since they cannot be on the same certificate as the CSeries coming next year.

Flight schools are booked? Where are your numbers from? How many are US citizens that will stay in the US? How many are foreigners that will get their tickets and go back home? How long will it take those that are staying to get their 1500 hours?
